Los Angeles, CA - May 29, 2015 - The cost of mailing postcards is going up. The United States Postal Service has announced a postage rate increase from 34 to 35 cents each for postcards, effective June 1, 2015. But there are ways to reduce postage costs for postcard mailings.
This new rate is for postcards with these dimensions:

Minimum size: 5 inches long by 3.5 inches high

Maximum size: 6 inches long by 4.25 inches high

Postcard mailings and the 2015 postage increase

You can qualify for discounted postcard postage at the Presorted First Class rates ranging from 24 - 30 cents per postcard (exact rates depend on the addresses contained in the list) when your list contains 500 or more addresses. Your postcard mailing list can be presorted and get you the discounted postcard postage & avoid the USPS postage rate increase, which will save you at least a nickel per postcard. When your postcard mailing is more than 5,000 postcards, you'll find savings in using an outside mailing service; the postage savings will be greater than the cost of the postcard mailing service and in the end, will save you money on your postcard mailing. You have the option of printing postcards yourself and shipping them to the postcard mailing service, or having them do both the postcard printing and mailing for you.

Even with the postage rate increase, a 6 x 4.25 inch postcard printing and mailing is the least expensive and very effective way to get your postcard marketing message into the hands of your customers and prospects via direct mail marketing.

Larger postcards, such as a 6 x 9 postcard, require a 49 cent stamp, but when you mail more than 5,000 postcards, the Standard Mail Presort rate is only 25 - 31 cents per postcard (exact rates depend on the addresses contained in the list) saving you 19 cents or more in postcard postage per piece!
